Flume Measures Ultra-Wide Discharge Range
Advances in mathematical modeling in the mid-1970's have led to accurate modeling of discharge and energy loss characteristics of long-throated flumes. A complex long-throated...
Laboratory Study of Mud Flows
In the study reported depth profiles and tip velocities were measured for a series of unsteady mud flows generated in a laboratory flume using a dam break scenario. Observation of a wide...
Local Scour Under Waves Oblique to Current
Local scour around a cylindrical pile subjected to waves oblique to current was experimentally studied in a laboratory flume with a wave generator. The mode of wave-current interaction...
Gradation and Layer Thickness Effects on Riprap
Since riprap has become a costly and in some areas, scarce commodity, proper design maximizing the level of protection with a minimum rock size and layer thickness is an important goal....
Ackers-White Equation: Transportation by Size Fractions
The Ackers-White procedure for sediment transport has been modified to permit calculation by size fractions. The original logic has been retained, but A values for incipient motion have...
Open Flume Turbine Intake Geometry
An inexpensive physical hydraulic model was used to investigate the geometry of two different open flume turbine intakes. One intake utilized an inverted, fabricated pump bell type of...
Measurements of Secondary Flow in a Moving-Bed Flume
Gas Transfer and Secondary Currents in Open Channels
Laboratory flume experiments on water-wide controlled gas transfer, such as reaeration, are described. The experiments indicate that gas transfer is a surface renewal process, well described...
Evolution of Depth-Averaged Flow Fields in Meandering Channels
Flow Parameters of Fluid Mud
A set of small-scale, high-resolution velocity and stress sensors based on rugged metal-clad hot wires and epoxy-encapsulated hot films is to be evaluated for its performance characteristics...
Discharge Characteristics of Labyrinth Weirs
The hydraulic performance of labyrinth weirs is developed from data obtained from flume studies and site specific models. Using dimensional analysis, an equation for the discharge is developed...
Modeling Intake Performance Under Frazil Ice Conditions
A water intake was modeled in a refrigerated flume in an active frazil icing environment in order to evaluate alternative modifications to the prototype structure. Tests were run until...
